Chapter 96: Chapter 096: Im Not Even As Pretentious As You.
Lin Yi left the office and went to his poor little Shari.
At that moment, Bi Songjiang called.
When he went to the w.a.n.gjiang Dock for a meeting, he had told them to upgrade everything.
They probably had some updates now.
President Lin, do you have time now?
Whats the matter? Just say it.
Its like this. We sent out the bidding proposal the day after your meeting. There are two companies preparing to bid, and they will come with the proposal today. Its such a big matter that it needs President Lin to decide on the final contractor, Bi Songjiang.
If President Lin doesnt have time, I can inform them to come another day.
No need, I have time now.
Ill wait for you at the office.
Okay.
After hanging up, Lin Yi was not in a hurry to call Tianlong.
It would not be too late to inform him after he was done with the w.a.n.gjiang Dock matter.
After making up his mind, Lin Yi drove his Shari to w.a.n.gjiang Dock.
Looking at the entire dock from afar, Lin Yis lips curled into a smile.
The first step of expanding his territory was about to start here.
He walked around the parking lot and found a parking spot. Before Lin Yi could reverse his car, someone said,
Be careful, dont touch my car!
Are you talking to me?
Lin Yi poked his head out and saw a woman in a black dress standing on his left. Her long black hair was curled into waves, her face was covered in makeup, and she had a pair of high heels on. She looked very worldly.
Is there anyone else here besides you?
Lin Yi looked around and saw an Audi A8 parked behind the woman. It was several grades better than his Shari.
Dont worry, I wont touch your car, Lin Yi said casually.
Im just afraid that youll touch it. The woman held the doc.u.ment bag and said, My car is worth more than a million. If you touch it, you wont be able to afford to pay for it even if you sell yourself.
Lin Yi laughed. Driving an Audi A8 and feeling superior?
Isnt it just an A8? I wasnt as pretentious as you when I drove a Lykan.
Isnt it just an A8? Lykan? The woman laughed. What, did I drive a million-dollar car and hurt your dignity? I think youre only dreaming of driving a Lykan, you idiot!
After she spoke, the woman in the black dress left in her high heels. Lin Yi didnt know what to say. Were all people this confrontational nowadays?
Should he be a little more high-profile?
After parking the car, Lin Yi walked towards the office building at the dock.
At this time, there were more than twenty people sitting on both sides of the long table in the conference room. The atmosphere was heavy and tense.
Director Guan, if I remember correctly, this is the third time weve b.u.mped into each other because of the same project.
The man who spoke was wearing a suit and a pair of rimless gla.s.ses. His smile was indifferent and full of confidence.
The mans name was Ren Yongjun. He was the general manager of Zhonghai Ryder Design Co. Ltd. It was ranked the number one design company in all of China.
Sitting opposite Ren Yongjun was a woman in red. She was about 30 years old and had a beautiful round face. She looked somewhat cute.
The womans name was Guan Ya. She was the general manager and chief designer of Zhonghai Yaluo Design.
She was the other bidder for this project.
Then it can only be said that the road between enemies is narrow, Guan Ya said calmly with a hint of wariness in her eyes.
When it came to the national ranking of design companies, her company was at a disadvantage. Therefore, her chances of winning this bid depended entirely on luck.
Were old friends after all. Your resentment is too great. Ren Yongjun smiled and said, Didnt I just s.n.a.t.c.h two of your bids? Now, when you run into me its like meeting an enemy.
Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Although we lost the previous two times, this time, we are fully prepared. Dont be too confident.
I know that your Yaluo specializes in outdoor landscape design, and we specialize in indoor design. But this time, we have filled in our shortcomings of the outdoor design, so your advantage is completely gone.
I cant agree with President Rens words, Guan Ya said faintly.
More than 60% of the outstanding outdoor designers in the country are all in our company. Im afraid that your so-called solution still puts you some distance away from us.
Ren Yongjun shook his finger and smiled.
Naturally, there arent many talents to choose from domestically, but what about abroad? President Guan, dont forget about this.
What do you mean?
To tell you the truth, we have spent a lot of money to invite Mr. Larry Keller to become our Chief Design Consultant. Ren Yongjun said, President Guan, as an outstanding person in the design world, you should know who Mr. Larry Keller is, right?
You actually invited Larry Keller!
Upon hearing this news, Guan Ya could not sit still.
Forget her, even a newbie in the industry knew Larry Kellers name!
The famous Palm Island in Dubai was personally designed by him!
If Ren Yongjun really invited him to be a design consultant, her advantage would be completely gone!
Thats right. Dont doubt my words. I never play games.
The design team beside Guan Ya had an unnatural expression on their faces.
They did not have an advantage in terms of reputation, to begin with. If Larry Keller was in charge of the other side, it would be even harder to win this project.
At this moment, the sound of high heels could be heard before a woman wearing a black wrap dress walked in.
Qianqian, why are you so late? The meeting is going to start soon,Ren Yongjun said.
I met a vagrant in the parking lot just now. I was afraid that he might b.u.mp into my car, so I watched him for a while.
The womans name was Xu Qianqian. She was Ren Yongjuns senior a.s.sistant and also a well-known designer in the industry.
She used to go to Tsinghua University with Guan Ya. However, due to her talent, she became famous even though her development was not as rapid as Guan Yas.
Forget it for now. Remember to be early next time. Its such an important occasion. If were late, people will think that were not professional.
Got it, President Ren.
As she said this, Xu Qianqian looked at Guan Ya. Yo, President Guan hasnt left yet? Do you still intend to stick around?
Dont think that just because you got Larry Keller that you have a guaranteed victory. How can a foreigner have a better understanding of Chinas market and the preferences of our people? We still have the advantage.
Youre still the same as before. You wont shed tears until you see the coffin. Whats the point of all this struggling? Xu Qianqian said with a smile.
If I were you, I would have left a long time ago. I wouldnt want to lose face later.
If you have the time, you should think about your own bidding proposal. Why are you talking so much?
Xu Qianqian shrugged. Then well see. We really havent lost to Yaluo before.
At that moment, footsteps came from the corridor, and the door to the meeting room was pushed open. Bi Songjiang walked in alongside Lin Yi.
Director Lin, this way please.
